About This Book

BARRY'S ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS

An up-to-date edition of the comprehensive guide to building practice

Since 1958, Barry's Construction of Buildings has served as a standard guide to building practices and construction skills. The second volume of this two-volume format, Barry's Advanced Construction of Buildings builds on the introductory material of the first volume to offer readers a thorough grounding in construction and its various facets. Emphasizing large-scale buildings, particularly those with load-bearing frames in timber, concrete and steel, and supported by chapters on offsite construction, piling, envelopes to framed buildings, fit-out and second fix, lifts and escalators, building pathology, upgrading and demolition, this latest edition incorporates critical new material, including

  • New questions in each chapter designed to enhance learning
  • Updates throughout reflecting the latest building practices and professional knowledge
  • A new focus on low-carbon construction

Barry's Advanced Construction of Buildings is an essential tool for any student working towards qualifications in building and construction, and a handy reference for construction professionals in any area.
